Representative Mary Miller made a significant stance against the FISA spying reauthorization bill that lacked the necessary amendment requiring a warrant to spy on American citizens. Following the defeat of a key amendment in the House, Rep. Miller voted against the final passage of the bill, emphasizing the importance of protecting the rights of American citizens.

In a statement regarding her decision, Rep. Miller expressed her concerns about the misuse of spying authority in the past and the potential for abuse in the future. She stated, "I voted against reauthorizing FISA without serious reforms to protect American citizens because FISA was abused during the Obama Administration to spy on the Trump campaign and spying authority has been abused by the Biden Administration to spy on Tucker Carlson for criticizing Biden’s policies."

Furthermore, Rep. Miller criticized the Biden administration's handling of national security, particularly in relation to border control. She highlighted the contradiction between the administration's claims of needing warrantless spying powers for national security and their failure to secure the southern border. Rep. Miller asserted, "We know Biden is lying when he says he needs warrantless spying powers to protect our national security because if Biden was serious about our national security, he would secure the southern border instead of allowing 10 million unvetted foreign nationals to walk into our country, including terrorists, murderers, and drug traffickers."

The Representative also pointed out a recent incident where an Afghan terrorist was allowed to enter the country and remain unchecked for a year, despite being on the terror watch list. Rep. Miller drew a stark analogy, likening the situation to "blowing a hole in your boat and demanding a bucket to bail out water."

In conclusion, Rep. Mary Miller emphasized the critical need to prioritize border security and the deportation of illegal aliens as essential steps to safeguarding American citizens. Her decision to vote against the FISA spying bill without the warrant amendment reflects her commitment to upholding the rights and safety of the American people.
